Two Plucky California Girls.

Misses Fannie and Alice Orion, of
Butte Greek, are doing what many a
young man might be proud to do in the
way of securing themselves homes.
They each secured 100 acres of Gov
erAment land and are now fulfilling the
law requiring them to live upon the
land and make the necessary improve
ments. Each has a residence upon her
quarter-section, fences have been built
and trees planted to test the land. 1t
is found that plums, apples, and prunes
do splendidly, while all the small fruit
reach perfection. There are many fine
springs on the land and some appear to
be medicinal in their nature. There is
no prettier or moro pleasant summer
retreat, while the winters are mild and
agreeable. Fine winter apples can be
grown and transported at good profit,
and in few years their lands will be-
come very valuable.-Orouille Regis

''kOng john and the Mail Bags.

Years ago, when "Long john Went
worth was Chicago's representative in
Congress, the Government used to
send out its reports wrapped up in two
bushel corn sacks or mail bags. So
whenever a man got public document
through the courtesy of the Congress
man of his district, he also got first
class bag with it. Just why the Gov
eminent used bags, unless to crafty
the within of some farmer Congress
man, instead of wrapping paper can
only be conjectured. 1t did it, and
that is enough for this story. Long
John" as Congressman naturally re-
ceived everything in the way of "pub.
doc. that was sent out, and with them
many meal bags. Hundreds of his
constituents, too, received the books
and bags because their names had been
placed on the lists at Washington at
the long Representatives bidding, and
most of them turned their bags over to
John with the understanding that they
would be returned by him to the Gov
eminent. He, however, with that
thrift that has ever been his distin-
gushing characteristic, and that in
measure accounts for his payment of
500 taxes per year on 81 900, 900 worth
of property, sent the bags out to his
farm in Will County, where they were
used to carry corn to town. The bags
were of the best quality, and they
proved q valuable addition to the
equipment of the farm.
One day the authorities of the Post
Office Department took a notion that
they would like to get back some of the
pub. doc. bags, and secret order was
sent out to inspectors, instructing them
to seize all the bags they could find.
The Inspector at this point was Paul
II. Denis, the present claim agent of
the Illinois Central Railroad. Mr..
Denis first ascertained that "Long
John" had been shipping bags out to
planned raid on the farm, which he
speedily carried into effect. He went
out there one afternoon, when he sup
posed Long John" was snoring peace
fully in his room, and entered little
clubhouse in which he found stored
nearly five hundred Government mail
bags. To seize the lot and load it into
his wagon was the work of less than
half an hour, for Mr.. Denis was a
young and vigorous man at that time.
but to get the bags off the farm with
out trouble was another thing. The
inspector had scarcely started away
from the clubhouse when the towering
form of the Congressman appeared in
the roadway just ahead. "Long John"
came up at a canter, growing execra-
tons and deep-toned curses at every
Jump, but before he could reach the
clubhouse the inspector and the bags
were gone. Denis saw that he must re-
sort to strategy if he would avoid trou-
BILE, and he turned his horse off the
road and started across a wheat field
at a furious gallop. @Long John"
wheeled round and started in pursuit
of the daring officer, calling at the top
Of his voice for him to stop, but the Of
ficer paid no heed to him and kept on
until he got clear of the farm. The
horse proved to be too feet for the
Congressman, and he gave up the race
in digust when he reached the open
gate.
The Government got back its bags,
and Inspector Denis got abused by
Long John. CHI ago Herald.
